Dontayvion Wicks Ruled Out For Week 8

Friday, October 24, 4:25 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Week 8's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the team. Head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday that Wicks is unlikely to suit up on Sunday night and has now been officially listed as out. The 24-year-old has mostly served as a depth option in Green Bay's passing attack, recording only 13 receptions for 134 yards with no touchdowns on 20 targets this season. It does look like fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is trending in the right direction to make his season debut in Week 8, but rookie Matthew Golden (hip) popped up on the injury report Friday and is now questionable.

Jordan Whittington to See Larger Role

Sunday, October 19, 9:00 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington will move up the depth chart for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams will be without top wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) for this game. That means, Whittington could move into the No. 2 role behind Davante Adams for this game. The 25-year-old has been quiet, but saw a season-high four targets and played 92 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's game. The expectation is that Whittington will be more involved with Nacua unable to play. There should be flex value here against a shaky Jaguars secondary this weekend.
